2.7.4 BATTERY COMPARTMENT
Install the generator battery in its own, vented com-
partment. Place the battery compartment away from
any source of heat, sparks or flame.
Provide ventilation openings in the battery compart-
ment. The minimum size of openings should be 2
square inches at the top of the compartment. Mount
the battery on a strong, rigid supporting structure,
where leaks and spills of battery fluid will not cause
damage.
2.8 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
A plug-in receptacle (Figure 2.17) is provided on
the generator set. Use this receptacle to connect an
optional remote-mounted start/stop panel to the
generator. Installation of such a panel will permit
starting and stopping the generator engine from any
convenient location inside the vehicle.
